Wachsot

El sabio k'iche' Sam Colop (2008: 65n88) observa que "El texto k'iche' dice wachsot, que puede desglosarse en wach 'frente' y sot o su't 'pañuelo' que debe entenderse como turbante o el pañuelo protector que se amarraan en la cabeza." Wachsot es, junto con los cueros (tz'um), cinturones (b'ate), protectores de brazos (pach' q'ab) y penachos (yach wach) los atavíos de Jun Junajpu y Wuqub' Junajpu que Junajpu y Xbalmake usan en Xib'alb'a.

Christenson (2003, line 1903) translates the term wach sot as "face masks," one of the five fine objects that adorn the Hero Twins as they journey to Xib'alb'a. The others are leather (tz'um), yokes (b'ate), arm protectors (pach' q'ab), and face bands (yach wach), an assemblage that he K'iche' authors call, generally, kawub'al, and Christenson renders as "their finery." The root -wub' in the word indicates that these elements are intimately connected to the use of the blowgun (wub').
